Do you currently have any other BMWs in your stable? Craig: I have a 2020 M4 Heritage Edition. I also have a 2002 E46 M3, which I bought in 2010, and it's a dedicated track car now. It was initially my secondary car, but it was intended mostly for the track and occasionally driving on the street. dB: You can see Craig's E46 M3 in the Tier Car Care ad on page 7. How long have you been a BMW CCA member? ■ The M4's engine bay, with some recent intake upgrades performed by Craig. vehicles for photos, the X5 was remarkably quiet while the M4 made its presence known with a throaty burble at idle. As the temperature was in the mid 50s by 8:30 a.m., we decided to stay outside and enjoy the weather while I asked Bob and Craig about their raffle experiences and history with BMW and BMW CCA. Craig was in the hot seat first. How and when did you find out you won a CCA raffle prize? Craig: I was just scrolling through my emails and happened to see one from BMW CCA stating that I won. I was absolutely shocked. I had to go into my house to check my voicemail to make sure it was actually real. How many tickets did you buy? Craig: Initially I bought two tickets, which is what I typically buy every year. Then CCA came out with an E46 M3 print if you bought four tickets, so I bought an additional four tickets, but I actually won on the original two. Craig: Since 2009. I joined for the HPDE program and to get discounted parts for the M car. What are your favorite NCC activities? Craig: I've been an instructor for the NCC HPDE program since 2012. Definitely HPDEs! ■ (Below) The X5 plugs in! (Right) The large orange cables behind the X5's 3.0-liter engine hint at the hybrid powertrain. May I June 11
